Once the two are joined, they become one and were designed to stay one. If God put them together, only God has the right to separate them.
I am thinking that "the two shall become one" is as much a statement regarding the joining of heart and soul as a result of but not limited to physical intimacy. My middle boy -- Doc Smithson -- has been going with the same awesome girl for 7 years. Last year, he decided he should break up with her and perhaps find someone more "compatible." This is a guy who probably has 160 or 170 IQ -- and he's a dummy. After 5 months or so, he called me, almost in tears, telling me that he did not know what was wrong with him -- that he thought of Reggie not just every day but every 5 minutes. My response was thuserly: "Son, this 'and the two shall become one flesh" thing has been at work in your (the two of you) lives for too long. You are joined." And they are getting married next May (Pops - that would be me -- is performing the service as I did with the youngest boy AND I AM DEFINITELY BRAGGING).
Anyway. Maybe that does not have anything to do with where you are going, but so far, I am with you.
a brother, John
